Million.js
Million.js is an extremely fast and lightweight (<4kb) virtual DOM that makes React components (opens in a new tab) up to 70% faster (opens in a new tab).
Oh man... Another
/virtual dom|javascript/gi(opens in a new tab) framework? I'm fine with React (opens in a new tab) already, why do I need this?
Million works with React. Million makes creating web apps just as easy (It's just wrapping a React (opens in a new tab) component!), but with faster rendering and loading speeds. By using a fine-tuned, optimized virtual DOM, Million.js reduces the overhead of React (try it out here (opens in a new tab))
TL;DR: Imagine React (opens in a new tab) components running at the speed of raw JavaScript.

Million takes heavy inspiration from the following projects:
blockdom(opens in a new tab) (Géry Debongnie (opens in a new tab)) Thank you to Géry pioneering the concept of "blocks" in the virtual DOM. Many parts of the Million.js codebase either directly or indirectly derive from his work.voby(opens in a new tab) (Fabio Spampinato (opens in a new tab)) The Million.js "template" concept is derived from Voby'stemplate()API.bun(opens in a new tab) for their homepage.react(opens in a new tab) andturbo(opens in a new tab) for their documentation. Many parts of the current Million.js documentation are grokked and modified from theirs.ivi(opens in a new tab), Preact (opens in a new tab), and more (opens in a new tab)
Million is being used at companies like Wyze (opens in a new tab) and Dimension (opens in a new tab), as well as open source work like Quartz (opens in a new tab), TinyPages (opens in a new tab), and more (opens in a new tab).
